When I have been playing WOM one thing I have noticed was when I get around to the year 230 or so all of the grandkids and so forth all join the the nation that is the weakest that I have ties to. What is up with this.
I noticed this in the version that had the prestige penalty in it with regard to number of cities. Basically your grand kiddies think you suck and leave for a more prestigious group. In this case the group with the least cities would likely be their choice given the messed up game mechanics. I haven't seen this happen again in v1.4, again unless your faction's prestige is very low in comparison to other's. One way around it is to reload the auto-save to just before and declare war on your buddies just before the kiddies get old enough to go out on their own. i.e. limit where they can go.
From what I've noticed when this happens it usually seems if they choose to ally with another faction it is because it puts them closer in line to the throne. As in if they stayed with your faction they could be fourth or fifth etc in line and if they go to the other they would be second or third for example. They likely end up with the weakest because that faction has been losing battles and their descendents are dead (sovreign's kids) meaning the grandkids would be the next heirs there.
